The parse() method of Period Class is used to obtain a period from given string in the form of PnYnMnD where nY means n years, nM means n months and nD means n days.
Syntax:
public static Period parse(CharSequence text)
Parameters: This method accepts a single parameter text which is the String to be parsed.
Returns: This function returns the period which is the parsed representation of the String given as the parameter
Below is the implementation of Period.parse() method:
Example 1:
// Java code to demonstrate parse() method// to obtain period from given string  import java.time.Period;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Get the String to be parsed        String period = "P1Y2M21D";          // Parse the String into Period        // using parse() method        Period p = Period.parse(period);          System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"                           + p.getDays() + " Days");    }} |
Output:
1 Years 2 Months 21 Days
Example 2:
// Java code to demonstrate parse() method// to obtain period from given string  import java.time.Period;  class GFG {    public static void main(String[] args)    {          // Get the String to be parsed        String period = "-P1Y2M21D";          // Parse the String into Period        // using parse() method        Period p = Period.parse(period);          System.out.println(p.getYears() + " Years\n"                           + p.getMonths() + " Months\n"                           + p.getDays() + " Days");    }} |
Output:
-1 Years -2 Months -21 Days
